20231214 Update

December 2023 Update Genesis Baptist Church, Wilburton, OK - Genesis Baptist Church had our first fellowship. Tuesday, November 21st we had our Thanksgiving Service and Fellowship. After the preaching service, we had a time of food, and fellowship. - Thursday, December 14th, the evening service was a great time of preaching, and singing. A family came from Poteau Valley Baptist Church in Poteau to participate in the service. We we’re able to sing a congregational song with a lady playing the piano. She also played the invitation song after Pastor Weber preached his sermon. Another lady played and sang a song. Later that night after I got home, I was told that they continued in fellowship well after 9:00 pm. - We continue to go out door knocking. We have had a few people express interest, and it is hoped they will come. The Saturday before writing this prayer letter, we had a couple of people allow us to present the Gospel to them, but they where not ‘ready’ to go though with calling on Christ. Please be in prayer that souls will realize the absolute need for faith in Christ. So many just don’t take eternity serious. - I never thought I would be excited to see a gas meter! As I mentioned in the past, we needed to install a gas line, and the Lord provided. Once the line was in, we had the heater serviced, and it was fired up, and worked – for a couple of days. But after the burner was given a good cleaning, it has worked great since. - For those who have seen my presentation video about the beginning of Genesis Baptist Church, I have made a few small changes to extend the video's usefulness for a while longer for use in 2024. The revised video can be viewed on my website at https://ferventheat.com/video for those who would like to watch it. - As 2023 comes to a close let all remember the reason for this season, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. As 2024 gets under way, let us be found working to win lost souls to Christ. There is no Gift more precious than the gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ. This is the only way to Heaven. - Genesis Baptist Church website https://genesisbc.weebly.com
